Popeyes

Bold Cajun-spiced chicken with high protein per piece — order blackened for the cleanest macros.

Popeyes chicken is heavily seasoned and flavorful, which makes eating high-protein more enjoyable. Their blackened chicken options are the star for macro-conscious eaters — significantly leaner than the fried options while keeping that signature Cajun flavor. The key is knowing the blackened menu exists.
